another new report in IAF thread, another new problem.
what’s the fundamental problem with this jet?
Time.
Its coming way too late.
1980s technology in 2012?
You mean like the Rafale? :rolleyes:
Is this the UPG version for the RuAF?
How many RuAF Mig-29 will be upgraded?
Thanks.
the first batch will be only 36 the total number is superior of the indian, not included the future navy deal
How many FX-2 does Brazil plan to induct in total?
Thanks.
Lol, only the Indian MoD babus can come up with such ****ty regulations.
I bet they were upset that they didnt receive their standard aircraft transfer bribes.

Coming soon to the local Iraqi Air Force? 😮
But why not the Ka-52? :confused:
Didnt the RuN specify Zhuk-A for their Mig-29Ks ?
Indian FGFA model unveiled..
basically Saffron version of pakfa
and perhaps Katrina Kaif would do the vocals for the cockpit voice system… 😀
The PLA is cunning. Rather than spend billions in upgrading their Navy to take on the Indian fleet, they spent only a few hundred and took down India’s newest flag ship 😮
Nah, they actually got paid for that…. lol.
J/k.
I think it would be best if India pulled out of the Il-214 project and instead went for C-130. India gains no technical base / experience with the Il-214 since it has no input in it other than a few avionics. So instead we could go for the best in industry plane in that category, C-130, and have it license built by Tata.
Tata would gain aircraft building experience instead of wasting more money on that failed PSU known as HAL.
Ooops, guess I am a bit date on that…. 😀
Are there any plans to retire the German Mig-29 soon?
The tugboat did not have to lend any help to the ship, it was there as procedure.
Also no one is offering it to India.
That’s true, but a duplicate can always be made.

No need to be mad Wanshan. Vikram is a lemon and no one can change that.
IN is going to waste a considerable amount of resources on that lemon.
Looks like IN will have to buy Nicholas Chiker tugboat and keep her in Vikram battle group at all times.
BTW, are ships referred to as her or him in Russia?
There are around 125 Bison (upgraded Mig-21). Might be another squadron or two of non-upgraded Mig-21. All these Mig-21s will be retired by 2018.
Also all the Mig-27s will be retired by 2020.
